Instructions
- Prep the Base: In a small amount of warm water, whisk together the Clear Whey Isolate and Collagen Peptides until fully dissolved. (Clear whey can be foamy at first; let it sit for a minute or two to clear up).
- Combine the Liquids: In a large pitcher like the one in combine the cooled hibiscus tea, cold filtered water, white cranberry juice, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice.
- Mix in the Protein: Stir the dissolved protein and collagen mixture into the pitcher until completely integrated.
- Add the Freshness: Drop in the lemon zest, blueberries, and strawberry slices. Give it a good stir.
- Chill & Serve: Layer in the lemon and lime slices along with plenty of ice cubes. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving so the fruit flavors infuse.
